Question

Which equation describes the line above?

Answer 1

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

you can do a table chart and then you will get it.

you can also substitute y=-1/5(0)-4 and then you will get (0,-4)

Answer 2

Answer:

y = -1/5x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the y intercept is -4 since it crosses the y axis at -4

The slope is negative since it goes down from left to right

Take two points on the line

(0,-4)  and (5,-5)

We can find the slope using the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = ( -5- -4)/( 5 -0)

    = (-5+4)/ ( 5-0)

   = -1/5

The equation for the line in slope intercept form is y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -1/5x -4
